Parting God Speed"
BOSTON, June civilian O'Brien, Den
mis- Kilbride and Charles Ryan, of the Dub
lin Freeman's Journal, left Boston this
morning for New York by the IL o'clock
train on the Boston and Albany railroad. A
dozen or more admirers gathered at the
depot to bid the visitors ''good-by" There
was no demonstration of any kind, owing to
the heavy rain, as well as to the general i'm
preston that Mr.. O'Brien would not leave
boston until this afternoon or evening.
GoTHAM's RECEPTION.
NEW YORK, June Am immense crowd
filled the Academy of Music this evening to
welcome Mr.. O'Brien. Among those present
We're Mayor Hewitt, ex-Mayor Grace, Bishop
Farrell, of Trenton, N. j. Vicar General
Smith and Gen. O'Beirne. Mr.. O'Brien, in
the course OF his remarks, said: II am more
and more astounded at the extraordinary
extent of American sympathy | tell
you candidly that | fell panied and grieved
at the praise that you have SO eloquently
showered upon me, for we know
that our humble efforts for
Ireland would not have been much only for
Lansdowne's action has been more success
ful apostle for the Irish people than we can
ever be. Our feeble voices would only have
told the simple tale, but Lansdownes deeds
the world over. We had some horrible
moments in Canada. but that experience
VIII lie lightly on my memory when l re-
member, that those incidents have illus
trated far more elaborately than
thousands of my speeches could
the true character of landlordism in
Ireland, and what terrible thing evictions
are, as are being perpetrated in Ireland to-
day. There is no man who loves liberty or
justice in the civilized world who does not
know what powerful force we are fighting
against. How does the case stand between
us and Lansdowne to-day2 Lansdowne has
said everything he can say through the
papers, and we have convicted him of hav-
ing laid waste the whole stretch of
country, laying it bare of men, women
and children, country where in forty
years not single crime has been commit
ted. We have convicted him of this which
he has committed rather than abate one iota
on his rack-rent We have convicted
him of that, without any statement
by Kilbride or myself. We have
convicted him by the very land commits
soners appointed by the Tory government
and out of the mouth of his own agents |
venture to think that John Bright tHowls
and hissesl-I speak of him with sorrow,
rather than in anger-I regret that his life
is ending in bitter winter, rather than in
the glorious sunset in which Gladstone's is
ending" [Applausel
BRIGHT'S INCONSISTENCY.
"He Bright disapproves of my mission
to Canada, in the same breath as that in
which he calls Gladstone a traitor | am
not sorry to be in such company. Lans-
downe's acts have justified us in coming
here to convict him, out of his own mouth,
of the crime we have charged him with. Ii
he has men in Canada to carry out his
diabolical work, if their law can be called
upon to stop us from denouIfcing him, I will
do it on the free soil of America. Lans-
downe started for Toronto the same day we
started for Canada He inspired those who
carried out his outrages, and those were the
men who yoked themselves like jackasses to
his carriage.
HIS BODY GUARD.
II charge him here with that crime to-
night. We went to Canada with four
representatives of the New York press with
us. These men were literally and truly our
saviors. The mob would have trampled us
to death but for the powerful shield of pro-
lection thus thrown over usn Mr. O'Brien
closed with a review of the Irish question,
and predic ting the ultimate success of CON
ciliatior over coercion. Mr.. Kilbride, an
eyicted tenant, a companion of Mr.. O'Brien,
spoke briefly.
Letters Of regret were read from Gov.
HILL ex-Gov Hoadley of Ohio, Archbishop
Corrigan, Roscoe Conkling, and Others. A
series Of appropriate resolutions of welcome
were then adODted
